1 The Korean Communications in Statistics Vol. 13 No. 2, 2006, pp On the Distribution and Its Properties of the Sum of a Normal and a Doubly Truncated Normal Hea-Jung Kim 1) Abstract This paper proposes a class of distributions which is useful in making inferences about the sum of values from a normal and a doubly truncated normal distribution. It is seen that the class is associated with the conditional distributions of truncated bivariate normal. The salient features of the class are mathematical tractability and strict inclusion of the normal and the skew-normal laws. Further it includes a shape parameter, to some extent, controls the index of skewness so that the class of distributions will prove useful in other contexts. Necessary theories involved in deriving the class of distributions are provided and some properties of the class are also studied. Keywords : Doubly truncated normal; Class of distributions; Skewness. 1. Introduction Azzalini (1985) and Henze (1986) worked on the skew-normal (written ) distribution, a class of distributions including the standard normal, but with an extra parameter ( ) to regulate skewness. A probabilistic representation of the distribution is given in terms of normal and half normal laws:, (1.1) where and be independent standard normal variables. The distribution is useful to modeling random phenomena which have heavier tails than the normal as well as some skewness that appears in screening problems and regression problems with skewed error structure. We refer to Arnold et al. (1993), Chen, Dey and Shao (1999), and Kim (2002) for the applications of the distribution to those problems. Various extensions of the distribution have been given in the literatures: In one direction, Diciccio and Monti (2004) and Ma and Genton (2004), 1) Professor, Department of Statistics, Dongguk University, Seoul , Korea. kim3hj@dongguk.edu
2 256 Hea-Jung Kim among others, tried to find more flexible distributions that cope with prevalent deviations from normality. In the other direction, multivariate extensions of the distribution have been developed by Azzalini and Valle (1996) and Branco and Dey (2001), among others. The purpose of the present paper is to extend the distribution in terms of yet other direction. This proposes a class of distributions that accounts for the sum of a normal and a doubly truncated normal distributions, that is the distributions of the form, where and are any real values,, and, a truncated with respective lower and upper truncation points and. Such an extension is potentially relevant for practical applications, since in data analysis there are a few distributions available to dealing with the sum (or ratio) of values from a normal and a doubly truncated normal distribution. Moreover, the distribution of a variable of the form arises frequently in the theory of nonparametric statistics. We discuss examples of the nonparametric statistics in Section 4. Necessary theories involved in deriving the class of distributions is provided and some properties of the class is also studied. 2. The Class of Distributions This section proposes a class of distributions of the sum of a normal and a doubly truncated normal distributions by use of the conditional truncated bivariate normal distribution. Suppose is the density function of a bivariate normal random variable with mean vector covariance matrix,, with correlation. Suppose that ( ) has joint density, (2.1) where,, is the df of a standard normal variable, and and are real constants that are the lower and upper truncation points for, respectively. Clearly, ( ) has a doubly truncated bivariate normal distribution. By direct integration one obtains the density of given by (2.2) where,, and is the pdf of the standard normal variable. The following lemma gives a relation between the conditional distribution of a truncated bivariate normal and the sum of a normal
3 Sum of a Normal and a Truncated Normal 257 and a doubly truncated normal distributions. Lemma 1. Let and be independent random variables and ( ) is a bivariate normal random variable with mean vector and covariance, with,,,, and. Then for any real values and with, the distribution of is equivalent to the conditional distribution of given ; (2.3) where, a truncated with respective lower and upper truncation points and. Proof. Let and. Then ( ) is a bivariate normal random variable with mean vector and covariance matrix. Since and are independent, the distribution of conditionally on equals that of. From now on, for convenience, we shall denote,,,,,,,, and. Under the notations, Lemma 1 leads to the following definition. Definition 1. Suppose and are independent random variables. Then distribution of with the probability density function (2.2) is denoted by, where =(, ). The definition and Lemma 1 imply that the distribution function(df) of variable with distribution is the same as the conditional df of the form where is a bivariate normal with the mean vector and covariance matrix. Thus the df of is, (2.4) where is the orthant probability of the standard bivariate normal variable. Computing methods that evaluate
4 258 Hea-Jung Kim have been given by Donnelly (1973) and Joe (1995), among others. Definition 1 also reveals the structure of the class of distributions and indicates the kind of departure form the normality. Furthermore, it provides one-for-one method of generating a random variable with density (2.2). For generating the truncated normal variable, the one-for-one method by Devroye (1986) may be used. Now we will state some interesting properties for the distribution as well as the associate results. Property 1. Let, where. Then, (2.5) where with and and. and, Property 2. For, if and while and reduces to. Property 3. If, then, where. The pdf of is for. (2.6) Corollary 1. Let and be independent standard normal random variables, and let and. Then where., (2.7) Proof. Setting and, we have the result from Lemma 1. Property 4. distribution is equivalent to distribution. Property 5. If and is an independent random variable, then the distribution of is, where and.
5 Sum of a Normal and a Truncated Normal 259 Corollary 2. If is a random variable then, for any real and,, (2.8) where. Proof. Let independently of and let. Then, where random variable by Corollary 1. Thus the df in (2.4) gives the result. Corollary 2 immediately gives the following results for random variable: Upon setting and, we have, for any real and,. (2.9) The expectation was derived by a different method (see, for instance, Zacks 1981, pp.53-54). When and, (2.8) yields (2.10) for any real and, where,,, is the function which gives the integral of the standard bivariate density over the right side region bounded by lines,, and in the ( ) plane(see, Azzalini 1985, for the properties of the function). When and are independent standard normal variables, has a standard Cauchy distribution. From this fact, we see that the df of can be expressed as by (2.10), where. 3. Moments 3.1 Moment Generating Function To compute the moments of the distribution, it suffices to compute the moments of. From Property 1, we see that has the density, (3.1) where,, and.
6 260 Hea-Jung Kim Theorem 1. Let, then the moment generating function of is. where for, (3.2) Proof. Considering the pdf (3.1), we have written as. Using the transformation, one finds where. Thus we can derive the mgf (3.2) by applying (2.9). 3.2 Moments of the Distribution Naturally, the moments of can be obtained by using the moment generating function differentiation. For example:. Unfortunately, for higher moments this rapidly becomes tedious. An alternative procedure makes use of the fact that, for (3.3) yields the following result. Under the distribution (3.1), the relation (3.3) and integrating by parts gives the following moments. for, (3.4) where. By setting and applying (2.9), we obtain three expressions, which my be solved to yield the first three moments of. Higher
7 Sum of a Normal and a Truncated Normal 261 moments could be found similarly. One obtains,,. By using the Binomial expansion, one can see that the general formula for the moments of is. (3.5) When,. We recall the functions and studied by Sugiura and Gombi (1985). For real values of and ( ), and give respective skewness and kurtosis of doubly truncated standard normal distribution. Here and denote the left and right truncation points of the standard normal distribution. Using these functions and the above moments, we have the following result. Theorem 2. For, the skewness(the standardized central moment) and kurtosis of the distribution are and respectively, where (3.6) (3.7),,,,. Proof. From Property 1, we see that and of distribution is the same as those of distribution, where and are independent standard normal variables. From the above moments,. Therefore, some algebra using the fact that and (see, for example, Johnson et al. 1994, pp ), gives the result.
8 262 Hea-Jung Kim Corollary 3. For, the skewness depends on the following cases: (i) If, the distribution of variable is skewed to the right(the left) when. (ii) If, the distribution is skewed to the right(the left) when. (iii) If for, the distribution is symmetric, where,, and. Proof. It is obvious that for, for, and for. This fact and (3.6) immediately gives the result. The class of distribution includes well-known skewnormal distribution,, by Azzalini (1985). distributions is equivalent to as given in Property 3. From (3.5) and (3.6), one finds the moments of,, and. These values of agree with those given in Arnold et al. (1993). See Azzalini (1985) and Henze (1986) for the other properties of the distribution. 4. Applications 4.1. Nonparametric Statistics The distribution of a variate arises frequently in the theory of nonparametric statistics, where and with. Let and. Then the distribution function of the ratio of normal and truncated normal can be directly obtained from that of variate, i.e.. Further assume that and are standard normals, and and. Then, (4.1) the distribution function of a standard Cauchy distribution(see, for instance, Johnson et al. 1994). In (4.1), if we set, (4.2)
9 Sum of a Normal and a Truncated Normal 263 by the df of variable in (5), where is the standard bivariate normal variable with correlation. Thus (4.2) gives a simple derivation of the joint probability (see Johnson and Kotz (1972) for the direct derivation that uses a complicated double integration). The probability of leads to the following applications to the theory of nonparametric statistics. For example, let ( ) and ( ) be independent identically distributed bivariate normal variables with variances and and correlation. Then Kendall's measure of association, which may be defined as, can be written as by (4.2), where with. Thus if and only if. That is, we have the important relationship that if and only if and are independent when sampling from a bivariate normal population. Another example occurs in the setting of the two-way layout. Hollander (1967) proposed a test statistic that is a sum of Wilcoxon signed rank statistics to detect, where at least one of these inequality is strict, when the null hypothesis is (unknown),. The variance of the asymptotic distribution of his statistic may be written as, where are independent random variables whose continuous df is. If represent a random sample from a univariate normal distribution with variance, then and are bivariate normally distributed with zero means, unit variances, and covariance 1/4. Consequently,, where with. These two examples show that, if one uses (4.2), the values of and can be directly obtained, avoiding the complicated double integration Sum of Values from a Normal and a Truncated Normal Suppose an item which one makes has, among others, two parts which are assembled additively with regard to length. The length of both parts are normally distributed but, before assembly, one of the parts is subject to an inspection which
10 264 Hea-Jung Kim removes all individuals below a specified length. As an example, suppose that comes from a normal distribution with a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 6, and comes from a normal distribution with a mean 50 with a standard deviation of 3, but with the restriction that. How can we find the chance that is equal to or less than a given value, say 138? This problem was originally answered by Weinstein(1964) and three correspondents regarding to Weinstein(1964) have suggested other methods to get the same answer. The method presented here uses the df (2.4) of distribution as a simple alternative method to this problem. From definition 1, we see that with, so that,,,, and. Thus using (2.4), we see that, and this probability is the same as the Weinstein's answer. When the parameters of and distributions are unknown, the probability can be approximately calculated by using the maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters. See Johnson et al. (1994) and references therein for the estimation of the truncated normal parameters. When the restriction of in the form of, then with. Thus is immediate from (2.4) if values of and are given. 5. Conclusion This paper has proposed a class of the sum of a normal and a doubly truncated normal, denoted by. The properties of the class is studied and two immediate applications of the class are given. As given by (2.3), the special feature of the class is that it gives rich family of parametric density functions that allow a continuous variation from normality to nonnormality. Therefore the class of distribution is potentially relevant for practical application, especially for the analysis of skewed data as implied by Corollary 3. This, in turn, raises the estimation problem of distribution based on a skewed data. A study pertaining to the application is an interesting research topic and it is left as a future study of interest. References [1] Arnold, B.C., Beaver, R.J., Groeneveld, R.A. and Meeker, W.Q.
